Women Videotapes Man Banging on Her Seat After She Reclines -Who's Right?

[Anonymous]

I’m short . I recline my seat for long flights. I do not think it is rude. People recline their seats, thaw the armrest (especially males). I blame the airlines. DCUM is not the etiquette guide.

The guy was almost psychotic in his tantrum. I pity anyone who dates him, married him, or is fathered by him.

The airlines ought to fix the seats so they don’t recline. They are already way too small.

He should have been removed from the plane by police when they landed. That is assault.

The airline made me do it!



Pathetic.

He should have been, but he is a middle aged white man, and so gets a pass for behavior that nobody else does.

2 hours or less : you can refrain from reclining.

You don't know that. Perhaps he was punching before and continued punching after. I highly doubt she planned on forcing him to punch her seat like, "hey watch this I'm going to recline and let's see if the passenger behind me loses his damn mind".

“First I was afraid, I was petrified. Kept thinking he was gonna kill me with those crazy eyes. But I took so many hits and I thought how he did me wrong and grew strong! I learned how to tweet along. He hit my back – so many times so I’ll recline! I will recline! Hey hey!” she wrote.


“It was scary and very painful” she said, claiming she lost time at work, had to receive X-rays and suffered headaches because of the incident.

“I’m in pain. I have 1 cervical disk left that isn’t fused – the first 1 which allows me some mobility. It’s scary bc it’s this the kind of injury that could do it in,” she said.

“I am grateful for the limited movement I still have and shouldn’t have had to endure the repeated blows.”

Seriously? This sounds like "pay me" scheme. She makes it sound like the guy beat the shit of her in a dark alley. She is clearly after money from the airline

I see it differently. The airlines ought to treat passengers better and space the rows farther apart so that we can all have enough space to recline. It's the configuration that's causing these problems.

Way to blame the victim. She had every right to recline. He had no right to continuously hit her seat.

I have chronic pain due to spinal fusion. I bring my own back pillow to sit on. To manage/minimize my pain, I have to recline my seat just a little bit.

Is reclining a little bit ok do you think DCUM?

He knew what he was getting when he bought his ticket. Sure, it would be great if everyone could spread out and have plenty of room but is not the reality. He is a jerk and the new poster boy for the cause of recliners everywhere. You can blame the airlines all you want but acting the way he did is not cool.

I'm anti-recline, but the seats do recline, so people can do it. I'm also anti-assault, and that guy clearly needed to be met by the police when the plane arrived.

He was being a jerk and we all know it
He could have said something. Instead he opted for violence. He is definitely not a nice man

I fully agree with the PP. The seats recline. If the airline isn't providing enough space to recline without infringing on the next passenger, they need to fix it and stop framing it as an etiquette problem. It's a design problem because they are cramming us in like sardines to maximize profits.
